The day Queen Mary Tudor – or ‘Bloody Mary’, as she’s called, because she has anyone who doesn’t go to church burned – came to town was the most terrifying day of young Meg’s life. Everyone wants to impress Her Majesty, and what better way to show their devotion than by burning a witch themselves. But ""the witch"", Old Nan is more clever and cunning than the townspeople and in the end, she isn’t the one who sparks the ferocious temper of the frightful Queen …Don’t miss www.teary-deary.com – the author’s own fantastic website with detailed information about all our books, plus others, about Terry as a writer, as well as extracts, quizzes, games and activities.

I like the fact that is a fictional tale but it has lots of facts in it.

Good books, more story form than Horrible Histories but just as good, this was one of my 3 favourites of the set of 4. I would recommend.
